How long is a user banned for multiple posting?

Update: I posted again on the TT forums in light of the issue persisting and they’ve said the devs are aware and will give us an update tomorrow. Not sure if this is an app update or status update, so watch this space.

Great, thanks for your help to solve this issue! Have a nice day!

Update: Howdy has said that they do not think the app is responsible, as they are getting errors from the forum without it.

Next step is to talk to the guys at WoltLab.

@votdev How do you block spam on the forums? Is it a Burning Board stock setting, a plugin or something else?

I've developed a plugin myself for WoltLab and i'm using StopForumSpam.

I've just gone to post on the WoltLab forums and was greeted by this message:

"In order to receive support for our products, you have to verify as a license holder. Questions before the purchase can be asked in the appropriate forum"

Not sure how much I can do as it's not a pre-sales issue.

Here's the error message that Tapatalk got:

And I found one that I got too:

This occurred when I was talking about changing the name of the ZFS thread, but I did not get banned for it.

I think it's fairly safe to say that our problems are related to these errors, but I do not know what they mean or what else I can do about them. I will post in the pre-sales forum at WoltLab anyway, it may well be that they have some idea.

Edit: Thread at WoltLab here: https://community.woltlab.com/…own-issues-with-tapatalk/

Not sure if it'll get closed or not. Also, more posts on the Tapatalk thread.

Edit2: Please visit Tapatalk thread. I think I may be onto something. I think the app is reposting equivalent to the amount of quotes in a post. We see dupes all the time. One dupe for one quote.. quote more than once and that would total 3 posts... and you get perma-ban just as the spam bots do.

This is ellnic testing my theory.

That got me banned. I bet it’s a temporary ban though. Not the one we are trying to track down.

Will check tomorrow to confirm.

So that was a temporary ban. Not the same ban.

I’m not sure why I can’t replicate the repeat posting issue. There’s something else at play here. But I’m pretty sure that:

- A temporary ban comes from too many nested quotes or repeat edits
- every now and again, triggered by we don’t know what, Tapatalk reposts the same post equivalent to the number of quotes
- the post limit for a permaban is 3
- one quote and you get one repeat
- more than one quote/repeat and you’re done

I guess we’ll wait and see what Tapatalk say.
